Is there a way to conform a video from 60fps to 40fps? I ask you this because I shot a band playing a song at 1.5 times the real speed (to achieve a not-so-slow motion video). After simple math, I would roughly need that the video replays a 40fps to match the real song.

We tried to make the video at 2 times the speed of the song, because going from 60fps to 30fps is as easy as you showed in this video, but at 2 times the speed the song goes unplayable (even by just making fast moves over the playback).

Not within the Final Cut Studio universe. FCP and other tools only work with standard frame rates. Motion and AE might be able to do this...and PPro MIGHT be able to edit this, but there is no way you can edit 40fps with Apple products...not easily.
